WOTFAD v THE TOON (part 2!) *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2015-2016

Posted 'high noon bells' Friday 22nd January 2016

In a previous life!: "HAVE WE NOT BEEN HERE BEFORE?---LIKE!"

It's a case of 'daja vu' on Saturday when we heed for "LandanToon" once again. We travel by cho choo train to King's Cross at the same time doon ('7am bells') and the same time back ('7pm bells') via the same route through mackemland <(shut the curtains!) and monkeyhangerland, due to 'on gannin' line work on the East Coast main line, az we did a fortneet ago for wor FA Cup tie!

"NOW WHICH TICKET IZ IT, AGAIN?"

And of course we are gannin to the same place az well (Vicarage Road) via Euston station, az we did a fortneet ago and will 'ne doubt' be drinkin' in the same Wotfad pubs az well ('The Flag', 'The Lion', etc!)

Wot we divvint want however, iz the SAME RESULT! az a fortneet ago and can anly hope that we divvint play like we did in wor FA Cup horror when we lost 1-0!We've played 'canny' of course in wor 2 home games since then and the arrival of Jonjo Shelvey haz been 'a breath of fresh air' az we try and dig worsels oot of the bottom 3! (once again!)Aall 2,100 away tickets have been sold!Sad stats: NUFC have anly had anly THREE goalscorers in total away from home this season, Mitrovic(2), Perez(2) and Cisse(1)! That's a total of just FIVE goals in TEN away games that have been scored in that time, between them!We have failed to score in SEVEN of those games and have taken just SEVEN points oot of a possible THORTY on the road! (2 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats)There iz still ne news on a much needed striker (see above stats!), az it's aall went quiet on the transfor front, with 22 days of 'the 31 day window' now gone!---Time iz runnin' oot!---FAST!

A full 'Geordie Times' match and 'liquid lubrication location' report will appear here sometime on Sunday!
